Ethiopia Case Study: Integrating Off-grid Technologies into Electrification Planning

This GET.transform case study describes the rural electrification framework in Ethiopia. Recognising that the success of off-grid electrification rests upon solid planning, the Government of Ethiopia developed an updated version of its National Electrification Program (NEP 2.0) in 2019. Ethiopia uses a digitalised master planning approach with numerous tools and cross-checks to designate the most suitable access technology per community throughout the country. The strength of the master plan lies in the combination of a geospatial mapping with cross-referenced and digitised baseline data.

Nigeria Case Study: Financing Instruments for the Mini-Grid Market

This GET.transform case study illustrates Nigeria’s successful approach to establishing large-scale mini-grid programmes. One of the success factors in Nigeria is the development of strong financing instruments, on top of a series of power sector reforms and regulations in place for the development of mini-grids. Nigeria uses both performance based grants and minimum subsidy tenders, with result-based financing (RBF) instruments used under both the Nigeria Electrification Project (NEP) and the Rural Electrification Fund (REF), to guarantee consistency in reimbursement of developers’ costs.
